New York Fashion Week: Memorable celebrity moments

Here are a few of our most memorable celeb moments—so far—from the
New York Fashion Week trenches. [caption id="attachment_7284" align="aligncenter" width="422" caption="One of the last looks from Zac Posen's Fall/Winter 2012-13 collection."]

Canadian models at the Zac Posen show—Coco Rocha opened and closed, with appearances from Anais Pouliot, Lisa Winkler, Herieth Paul, Alana Zimmer and Heather Marks—Anthony had a close encounter of the Dita (and Anna) kind. “You won’t believe what just happened!” Anthony gushed almost breathlessly to me before the start of the show. While coming down the steps of the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Centre, he literally bumped into Dita Von Teese as she attempted to climb the stairs in a very fitted dress (Zac Posen, of course). Thankfully, no one took a tumble. “She could hardly move, but she looked great. Her makeup was impeccable,” he said. “Then, just as I was coming back to my seat, I suddenly felt like I was being surrounded by men in suits talking into their wrists. Then Anna Wintour appeared in front of me! I felt so disoriented. I don’t know if I can take all the drama!” he said with a laugh. We settled in for an Oriental-architectural themed show full of glamorous hourglass gowns thankful that most (see below) of the celebs were seated a safe distance away.
The
previous day at Altazzura, we sat precariously close to the
Courtin-Clarins girls (that’s sisters Claire and Prisca and cousins Jenna and Prisca). (I say precariously because of all the flashbulbs. Boy, those girls can pose!) Anthony jokingly dared me to ask one of them for a Clarins sample. I laughed, and for a split second, even considered taking him up on it—as I
sized up their clutches (way too tiny to contain any good samples!). The following evening, we were all seat-section buddies once again at Tommy Hilfiger and Zac Posen. But I still didn’t ask for a sample. [caption id="attachment_7282" align="aligncenter" width="422" caption="Diane Von Furstenberg's Fall/Winter 2012-13 collection. Image courtesy of ImaxTree.com"]
[/caption] The most star-studded show so far, by far, has been Diane Von Furstenberg. We dutifully endured flashbulbs intended for Oscar de la Renta, Barbara Walters and Anderson Cooper, but it was pretty cool to take in the row of even more media heavy-weights sitting across from us: Tina Brown, Diane Sawyer, Graydon Carter, Fran Leibovitz etc. And just to cap things off, as we exited the show, Solange Knowles almost tripped over Anthony. He really is a celeb magnet!

Gigi Hadid is going on a social media cleanse

Gigi Hadid and Instagram are about to go on a break. The model recently revealed she'd be taking some time off from the social-media site after the holidays.

"I'm taking a month off, actually, during New Years. I'm not deleting my account, I'm just taking the apps off my phone," she told ELLE US of her social-media hiatus. "It's empowering, not just for people in the spotlight, for everyone. At the end of the day I'm choosing what I'm showing you. A lot of the world feels so entitled to other peoples' lives, which is so crazy. I'm going to take a break when I feel like it, and when I come back and share it with you, if you want to be supportive and still follow me, that's great. But, if you're going to be upset that I need to be human for a month, than maybe I don't want your follow anyway."

While we'll miss her killer feed – which includes her slaying the Victoria's Secret runway, arm in arm with beau Zayn Malik (see below), and #ootds in some of the coolest athleisure we've ever seen, we get it.

Gigi is not the only star to take a break from the 'gram this year. Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian and Selena Gomez also chose to detox from the app. "It has gotten to the point that people won't even say hi to me or recognize me as a human," Bieber wrote on Instagram before deleting his account, "I feel like a zoo animal, and I wanna be able to keep my sanity."

Rihanna is over people creating a competition between her and Beyoncé

The Rihanna Navy and the Beyhive have been on not-so-friendly terms on social media following the announcement of the 2017 Grammy Awards nominations.

Although RiRi expressed gratitude for her whopping eight nods, the Navy felt that she was snubbed after Anti didn't receive a nom for Album of the Year over Beyoncé's Lemonade. Naturally, Bey's fans wasted no time in coming to the defence of their Queen.

But Rihanna quickly cleared things up on the 'gram, commenting on a fan's photo, "I'm petty af, yes. But this is just unnecessary! I wish y'all would drop this topic and see things from the bigger picture! We don't need to be putting black women against each other! We deserve to be celebrated and the Grammy Academy agrees!"

Ryan Gosling teaches Jimmy Kimmel to waltz

Jimmy Kimmel has the best job in the world. Ryan Gosling swung by the late night host's show to chat about his upcoming musical La La Land and was cornered into teaching Jimmy a private dance lesson despite forgetting most of the dance training he underwent for the film.

Ryan demanded passion and eye-to-eye contact from a bashful Jimmy. “Who you looking at," he asked mid-dance. “I want to feel like I’m the only person in the room.”
